Assessment for Learning MOOC’s Updates

Learning analytics is Common Ground Scholar (CG Scholar)

In my opinion, CG Scholar works by deeply integrating learning and assessment, collecting detailed data from activities like classroom discussions and peer-reviewed projects. Analytics are presented using an aster plot that visualizes student progress towards mastery in areas like Focus, Knowledge, and Help. Each data point is a "semantically legible data point" providing immediate feedback. Its effects include supporting effective mastery learning, providing continuous, detailed feedback, visualizing complex data, and empowering students by giving them constant access to their progress data and what they need to do to reach expectations. This exemplifies assessment being embedded throughout learning, where instruction and assessment become inseparable.
